Tuesdays at IKEA.

Here's something I bet you didn't know. Actually, here are 2 things...

1. The IKEA Covina (Inland Empire) now serves pizza in the Bistro (by the checkout counters). Pick one up instead of the hotdog. Get a slice and a softdrink for $2.50.

2. On Tuesday nights (4 p.m.-close) rather, take your $2.50 upstairs to the Cafe and you can get Swedish meatballs instead. Tuesday nights only. You need a break from Taco Tuesdays anyhow and you can still get 'em at lunch if you insist. All other nights meatballs are still a great deal at $4.99. If only they would switch from Pepsi to Coke.

I had a feeling you didn't know about the Tuesday deal. Nobody does. Look how empty the Cafe is!



These deals may exist at your local IKEA too. Doesn't hurt to check out the IKEA website.

So, Inland has clued you in, now go eat something, take photos, and throw a copy into my IKEA FOOD Flickr group.

IKEA TAX-FREE.

This weekend, IKEA Covina [serving the Inland Empire] is hosting a tax-free event. Check the website, your local IKEA may be doing the same. Good news especially with all the recent sales tax increases in the area. While on the IKEA site, check if there are any other promotions in your local store. Example: Saturdays this month, IKEA Covina will reimburse your cafe meal valued at $10 and up if you buy other merch. I believe it's just a matter of showing your meal receipt at the store checkout. You should double check, I didn't read all the details.

This changes my weekend plans. It's possible I will not be going to the Thai Town Curry Festival as planned but bringing a major haul home from IKEA. Or I may battle the swarms of bargain seekers later today.

Other plans...

Feeling a bit domestic. I just dug up a never-used stand mixer from the hall closet. May do a little baking today.

Yesterday, Citizenrobot and I were talking crafts. I think we are both pretty fired up about creating something but our ideas are all over the place. If I get any ideas, I might do some needlework later.

Only slightly past the halfway mark on The Watchmen. Had to put the book down for awhile since work has been very busy. Catching up.

Should file taxes. Will have paperwork done by Monday.

Netflix discs are piling up. Want to get those out on Monday with the tax forms.

We'll see how the IKEA sale goes. I may be assembling furniture tomorrow.

Determined to do some stuff this weekend! Skipping (postponed) Ren Faire this weekend. Luckily, no jury duty on Monday. I was worried about the early call.
